The best vacations didn’t always come from big plans. They came from small moments—a winding road I hadn’t meant to take, a quiet garden tucked behind a museum, a local bakery that felt like it had been waiting for me. I remember thinking, “It’s not about doing everything. It’s about finding what feels like enough.”
What stayed with me were the in-between things: a bookstore on a rainy afternoon, a path that opened up into wildflowers, a dinner where the light hit just right and no one was in a hurry to leave. I’ve wandered through towns and trails, coastlines and cafés, and every trip reminded me that the best experiences don’t need noise—they just need space to be noticed.
